The wives of the concubines are empresses

The concubines were sincere to the emperor and there was no falsehood, and they all saw it.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace looked at the Empress Dowager of the Western Palace and said: "Let's go in and see the Emperor too."

The Queen Mother of the West Palace nodded respectfully and followed the Queen Mother of the East Palace.

"Emperor, are you okay?"

"Mother, Queen Mother, you are here."

After the concubines paid their respects, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace sat down on the edge of the bed. Seeing that her daughter was still energetic, she felt relieved.

"My prince, thank you for your hard work. How come you have been giving birth so quickly these days?" She had never seen a pregnant woman giving birth so quickly.

Shangguan Wanjun explained: "Maybe it's because I've given birth many times, so this one is relatively less torturous."

The Empress Dowager Xigong thought it was a good idea.

"Sister, it's a good thing that the prince suffers less." She looked around and finally stopped in the arms of Mr. Hao, Gao Zihao.

"Mr. Hao, please bring the child to me."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Haogui, Gao Zihao, quickly brought the child over.

"Mother concubine."

Looking at the slightly wrinkled child, Empress Dowager Xigong did not dislike it at all. After all, this was the child her daughter had worked so hard to give birth to.

"Is this a princess or a prince?"

"Replying to my mother, it's a princess." The child is small now and wrinkled when he is born. It is not known which one is which. He hopes that his child will be a princess and as beautiful as her mother, the queen.

"She will gradually look beautiful after a few days." She didn't get to hold the eldest princess before, so she is lucky today.

"Baby, I'm the Imperial Grandmother, and I'm here to see you."

Seeing her teasing her granddaughter, the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace smiled gently.

Recently, due to the sudden birth of the empress, the court meeting was held in the main hall of the Dragon Bedroom Palace.

During her confinement period, Shangguan Wanjun would sit on a soft dragon chair with her back resting on a soft cushion. Just like when she gave birth before, there was a screen between the empress and the ministers to prevent her weak face from being seen.

"See your Majesty, long live my Emperor."

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

The Left Vice Minister of Works, Lord Yan, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"My dear, please tell me."

"I ask for the hand of one of the ladies-in-waiting of the Emperor on behalf of my young son."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun and others and the court officials looked at him in surprise.

"Who is your beloved youngest son?" Why did he suddenly ask to marry the female official beside her? Who did he like?

"My youngest son has just come of age this year, and he's been severely punished."

Twenty years old is not bad, but I don’t know who he has chosen to be his daughter-in-law.

"Which lady-in-waiting are you talking about?"

"I ask for Lord Ning's hand in marriage on behalf of my son."

Lord Ning?

Could it be Ning Moer?

Everyone looked at Ning Moer, and she was also confused.

Do you want to marry her?

Why would he suddenly ask her to marry him? Could it be that he was taking revenge on her for beating his son? But that wasn't her fault.

Seeing her confused face, Shangguan Wanjun realized that she was not aware of it beforehand.

"My dear minister, why do you suddenly want to ask Lord Ning to marry your youngest son?" She was a female official beside her. Her official position might not be high, but her position was very important.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yinning is able to control my son."

Now the empress became even more curious.

"how you said that."

Lord Yan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, bowed and explained, "To be honest, my youngest son is too lawless. I've scolded him and beaten him, but it's no use. So I thought of getting him a wife to keep him under control."

"Then why is it Lady Ning?" Could it be that you value her serving by my side?

"This one……"

Seeing his embarrassed face, everyone became even more curious.

The right prime minister, who had been listening attentively, heard that he didn't say anything and hurriedly urged him.

"Master Yan, please tell me." He loved listening to gossip the most.

"This..." Lord Yan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, looked up at the stage and finally took the initiative to explain.

"Master Ning is fierce, he will definitely be able to discipline my son."

Some officials couldn't help but chuckle, and the Left Vice Minister of Works - Lord Yan and Ning Moer blushed at the same time.

Lord Yan, thank you so much. Being fierce has become a big advantage now, right?

The empress never thought that this was the reason.

"This matter requires long-term consideration. After the court session, please stay and discuss it with Lord Ning."

"I obey your command." It seems that this matter has a chance, and he will have to work hard to fight for it later.

If a son is too spoiled, having a strong wife at home is a perfect complement.

When the ministers heard that there was no news, they all felt disappointed.

After leaving court, Shangguan Wanjun first asked Ning Moer for her opinion.

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this is a bit sudden for me, but I'm afraid I can't control Master Yan's son, who is such a dandy boy."

Everyone looked at Shangguan Wanjun, who just smiled gently and raised her eyes.

"But that's not necessarily the case. Everyone has weaknesses. What do you think is the weakness of the dude?"

Ou He pondered curiously, "Is a dandy weak? Generally speaking, he's afraid of the head of the family, like his father. But Lord Yan said his youngest son isn't afraid of him."

Sun Yuewei frowned and said, "Are you afraid of not having money?"

Minglan looked at her curiously: "Why?"

Sun Yuewei explained: "As a dandy, he would definitely do many strange things, such as visiting brothels, listening to music and drinking tea, and those who can ride horses might even participate in horseback riding competitions or gamble."

Liu Cheng frowned: "Visiting a brothel? That's not a good destination."

Shi Qingxue continued, "Yes, gambling is not a good idea either. Even the biggest fortune will eventually be gambled away."

Shangguan Wanjun shook her head helplessly: "Although what you said makes sense, isn't it off the track?"

It's clearly about the weaknesses of Lord Yan's youngest son, okay?

Su Yude, who had been silent the whole time, pursed his lips solemnly and said, "I think Lord Sun is right. No matter what we do, it all comes down to money. So, wouldn't it be enough to take control of his financial power?"

He is really smart.

Everyone nodded in unison.

A young eunuch walked in, bowing respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yan requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Taking advantage of this time, Shangguan Wanjun asked Ning Moer again about her thoughts.

"Do you want to marry? The Yan family has a good family background, and Master Yan seems to be a reasonable person."

"It's alright with me, as long as I can control my husband."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled and said, "Didn't Xiao Dezi say that we should just take control of the financial power."

"That's fine." At least the children she gives birth to in the future will have a better family background than ordinary people. So what if they are playboys? Just like the emperor said, everyone has weaknesses. She just needs to control the financial power.

Seeing Lord Yan, the Left Vice Minister of Works, walk into the inner hall, Ning Moer had already made up her mind.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

"I thank the emperor."

After he sat down, Shangguan Wanjun did not continue speaking, but looked at him quietly, wanting to hear what he would say.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels to ask for Lord Ning's hand in marriage for my youngest son."

When they heard the number, everyone was shocked.

A betrothal gift of 12,000 taels?

Lord Yan is really willing to spend a lot of money. It seems that he is helpless about his youngest son and puts his hopes on his future daughter-in-law.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Ning Moer: "What do you mean?"
